This is literally the best video I’ve ever watched on KZread. I’ve been obsessively digging for 45s the last 4 years after watching this.

Rarities have a certain mojo to them, if you're tuned to the right frequency. When you've been collecting for over 50 years, you just know. I keep my eye out for Soul & Funk records mostly. I have to admit to shouting "Hey, get that one for me!" at the screen whenever I see Mac flip past anything on the Stang label, which happens a lot. They aren't all that rare, but Stang had records by The Moments, Whatnauts & Linda Jones. Just great records and they're great in a Northern or Modern Soul set. Loma is another label like that, although some of their releases go for stupid money these days. Anything with a Detroit address automatically goes in my bag. Houston labels that aren't Country, same deal. When I'm not crate digging, I'm dreaming about crate digging. That's how it is with this happy obsession

Thanks Mack! Love your channel! My wife and I run a record shop in Virginia and have passed on 45s and 78s for years as it's almost taboo figuring those things out! All our customers request 33s, but you make it look easy. We have started taking a second look and have found some neat ones! Appreciate all the information. We watch weekly and subscribed!

I collected a lot of 45s in the 80s and 90s from Salvation Army stores we used to regularly go to. Mostly junkers really beat up but I could get them for a dime. Plus my wife would find big boxes of them at yard sales for like 2 bucks, then we would have fun looking to see if there was anything special. On top of that around that time a lot of friends and family were getting rid of their old 45 collections and just giving them to me. Next thing I know a have about 700 45s , but we would have fun firing up my old late 60s stereo with power booster built in for more horsepower and entertaining my young children. Lot of pretty good kid records from the 50s ( I was at work one day and guy there even older than me was singing the ‘ Smokey the Bear ‘ song, I said “ hey, I know that tune, I got the record “ ) Being in Detroit I used watch for old ‘ soul ‘ records and especially James Brown with his picture on the label. My favorites are James Brown - I Cant Stand It When You Touch Me , James Brown - Sex Machine , and Soul Brothers Six - ( original ) Some Kind Of Wonderful My daughters used to like the flip side of Brian Hyland - Sealed With A Kiss. A song called Summer Job , about getting a job as lifeguard and being able to watch his girlfriend all day at the beach.

They heyday of 45s was a little before my time (my parents' generation), but growing up when I saw jukeboxes in any retro-themed established always fascinated me. Shortly after my first full-time job, I purchased a jukebox, and from then on, the 45 became my preference for collecting vinyl. Although 33s are more popular from my generation for collecting, it was the 45 that really help prop rock 'n roll along with R&B/funk to what today's (albeit more vapid) music industry has become.

Hey, cool vid! I just found a 45 for 25 cents. “That’ll Be The Day” by the Crickets. (Written by Buddy Holly and two other guys) Brunswick label. It also says “Record No. 9-55009” with “45-102,022” below that. What might it be worth and what do all the numbers mean? Thanks!
@rearly62
2 жыл бұрын
Not a rarity, it was Buddy Holly's first big hit with The Crickets. The Brunswick single was a number-one hit on Billboard magazine's Best Sellers in Stores chart in 1957 and it also went to number two on Billboard's R&B singles chart. Value probably up to $20, however, it is very much dependent on condition. "9-55009", is the Brunswick label catalogue number and “45-102,022” is the record's matrix number. To put this into perspective, if you had found, “That’ll Be The Day" by Buddy Holly And The Three Tunes on the Decca label, which was released after The Crickets version, however, failed to chart, then that is worth around $100 again, depending on condition.

I cant find anything except a acesete of a Elvis song that I didn't even know at Graceland an was sold for $350,000!! I'm not looking to get rich but my family can really use the money. I got it for winning a singing concert an the guy thought he gave me Janis Joplin "Pieace of my heart" in mono an stereo on both side saying it was a paper acid vinyl copy in 2002. I cldnt believe when I played it an did all the research because it's the last single they ever put out as a b as nd bc Sgt. Pepper was made in 65 even though they put it out after Abby Road!

The only way to learn is via trial and error and complete immersion in collecting. So many 45s with basic unadorned labels are worthless crap.

They heyday of 45s was a little before my time (my parents' generation), but growing up when I saw jukeboxes in any retro-themed established always fascinated me. Shortly after my first full-time job, I purchased a jukebox, and from then on, the 45 became my preference for collecting vinyl. Although 33s are more popular from my generation for collecting, it was the 45 that really help prop rock 'n roll along with R&B/funk to what today's (albeit more vapid) music industry has become.
stumbled across this post today.........very entertaining! makes me want to find my 45 adapter and start going through my boxes of 45's :)

Thanks for the tips. I’m a 78 collector but I want to learn more about 45’s because I see so many while out looking for 78’s. It would be nice to be able to pick up good stuff I could sell and trade to my vinyl collecting friends, so I can put that money into shellac hunting.
Bill Horny will rock you long time!
I have all my great grandma's when she owned a bar from the jukebox. 40s-60s
Great video. One of my favorite 45s in Oh Lonesome me by Don Gibson
Ahh Mack I love this when the time comes when you’re out record hunting again can you please do more videos like this at home in between those trips that would be awesome

Any advice on buying northern soul or rare local funk/soul? I appreciate it
My G-Ma just recently passed and left me 1000's of 45's in her will lol. They are all in my dining room in a cooler packed full all wrapped up in newspaper bundles and towels. Probably haven't touched them since 75.

I’d get the autograph on the record sleeve and not the record itself otherwise it would lose value, including picture sleeves.
Found your video trying to figure out why Brazilian 45’s are so rare and expensive. Any videos on that?

great vid. any advice on labels to generally avoid? (for us new generations). sometimes i'll see something like parrot or hat wax and think its rare just because its not rca,capitol,ect.. only to find out it wasn't that rare at all
Anything on an uncommon label or an unusual version of a known label should be purchased.
First time watching you. I'm in Texas too. I've got a few hundred 45s and was needing some advise so thank you!

In my neighborhood…the ones that are all scratched up….and say Sun Records. That was my last 45 romp. It’s tedious, so much so that I haven’t the patience but I’m not flipping either. Can you imagine the days when jukeboxes went out of style. No doubt, you do.

Got to watch out for some modern reissues that have the labels reversed on them. Also you can find labels on both sides but no lettering embossed on the label on one side. Ran across those every now and then, rare but not valuable necessarily.
Bought my first three 45's a couple weeks ago. I have a Marty Robbins El Paso. There is a date printed "October 1951" on it above the 13-33013, and on the B side a date of March 1957. What are these dates? The single didn't come out until '59 or '60 so far as I've read.
Would be good to get reference books, such as Joel Whitburn's. Then learn what original labels looked like, in order to avoid reprints.
I don’t know much about 45s that’s why I’m watching most I see are just stacked with no sleeves are 45 records tougher ? Do they not get damaged as easily as 33s
dude ...you are awesome
Was the huge hole in 45's common in America? It wasn't in the UK from what I can remember. Maybe for juke boxes.
I have the original 45 record from the movie mannequin. No scratches or anything on it. Still in the original sleeve. How much is it worth?
Ever pick up us 60s obscure garage 45s. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
Do you ever find any reggae 45's? just curious

Hey, cool vid! I just found a 45 for 25 cents. “That’ll Be The Day” by the Crickets. (Written by Buddy Holly and two other guys) Brunswick label. It also says “Record No. 9-55009” with “45-102,022” below that. What might it be worth and what do all the numbers mean? Thanks!
@rearly62

Not a rarity, it was Buddy Holly's first big hit with The Crickets. The Brunswick single was a number-one hit on Billboard magazine's Best Sellers in Stores chart in 1957 and it also went to number two on Billboard's R&B singles chart. Value probably up to $20, however, it is very much dependent on condition. "9-55009", is the Brunswick label catalogue number and “45-102,022” is the record's matrix number. To put this into perspective, if you had found, “That’ll Be The Day" by Buddy Holly And The Three Tunes on the Decca label, which was released after The Crickets version, however, failed to chart, then that is worth around $100 again, depending on condition.

I need help identifying records. Where do you recommend I seek help? I've inherited a collection, mostly 45, 45 ep, promotional records and I'm finding it hard to identify value. For example I have a 45 ep Elvis on Sun records (That's all right, harbor lights, blue moon of Kentucky & I don't care if the sun don't shine). - signed, help me

Another way to identify a rare & GOOD Record is if the label is red and have the text ABBOTT on the top. Many people seems to miss them but they are totaly worth to check out.
Do you only collect 45's. I have some records from the 50's and 60's how much do they sell for???
so what do the parallel lines and solid color label symbolize that make them worth grabbing? i currently only have two, one is a decca single of crazy by patsy cline and the other is an eric records single for all i have to do is dream by the everly brothers. 🤔

I have a rare looking 45 but has a 33 hole,that's all white with black around the edges and it is the Beatles "come together " on 1 side an "something in the way she moves" on other side. I cant find anything except a acesete of a Elvis song that I didn't even know at Graceland an was sold for $350,000!! I'm not looking to get rich but my family can really use the money. I got it for winning a singing concert an the guy thought he gave me Janis Joplin "Pieace of my heart" in mono an stereo on both side saying it was a paper acid vinyl copy in 2002. I cldnt believe when I played it an did all the research because it's the last single they ever put out as a b as nd bc Sgt. Pepper was made in 65 even though they put it out after Abby Road! Can you tell me if you know anything and where I should go to sell it please and ty

I wonder how many records were lost in storms like katrina
I have a personal collection of more than 14,000 LPs and 6,000 singles. I know my stuff. There is simply no way to teach profitable record-picking. The only way to learn is via trial and error and complete immersion in collecting. So many 45s with basic unadorned labels are worthless crap. You will go through hundreds of these before you find something good.
Thanks Mack for the video. Most 45's I find are scratchy looking from teenagers from the past not using the paper sleeves. Does this devalue them quite a bit?
